Why I created this site

My purpose in establishing this website was to educate investors about the many aspects of investment finance.  While I have been investing for almost 30 years, my personal experience has taught me that investment education is a lifelong journey.  To succeed, you must commit yourself to the first step by beginning the educational process.

The more rounded your educational background, the more perspectives you can apply to your own investment process.  Investment is not only about finance.  The necessity for a diversity of knowledge in areas outside of finance is one of the drivers behind my passion for investing. 

It is essential to foster the habit of constant learning to enhance your perspectives.  Learning to learn is an indispensable tool in the journey to investment success. The education of an investor is a continual process.  This is because the investment environment continually changes and evolves.  There is something new to learn every day.

Without the proper educational background, many investors make less than optimal decisions.  These decisions can have far-reaching affects upon their long-term financial health.  Decisions can be enhanced when the investor gains a variety of perspectives and an improved understanding of the investment field.

The site is written in a style that is intended to be easy-going and authentic. I hope you will find it both entertaining and educational.   

Enjoy the journey to "enlightenment"!  Remember that while investment success can be hard work at times, it can also be very gratifying, both financially and intellectually.
